If you want to know more about Russian history during the period of the Middle Ages, you certainly should visit the Kremlin of Russian Tsar which situated not very far from Moscow. This is the oldest state country-residence of the Moscow Tsars. Since December of 1513, this residence was a permanent residence of the Tsar, his Court and his family. During the 16th century, the Russian Tsar transferred it into a capital of the Russian state.
This Kremlin is surprisingly well-kept ancient Russian palace and a temple ensemble of the 16th century. Russian and Italian architects were involved in the Kremlin construction. The museum exhibition has been collected over the past 80 years.
There are several exhibitions are presented in different buildings of Tsar Kremlin.

The exhibition, opened in the 16th century palace, shows the royal dynasty of Russian Tsars, those who lived or visited it. There is Pokrovskaya Church – a house temple of the Tsar’s family, which is faced with white stone, with a fretted portal made by Italian masters.
